Samuel was born around 1100BC and his hometown was Ramah, located in the hill country of Ephraim. He was a Levite from the descendants of Kohath. Samuel was the last of the judges, the first of the (major) prophets and the anointer and counsellor of Kings.

Acts 3:24 Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets who have spoken have foretold these days.

Acts 13:20 All this took about 450 years. “After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

Samuel literally ushered in a new day for Israel. Imagine God trusting you to be that person. Could it be that there is a new day coming for your entire family, industry or your nation and God is entrusting you to transition his people into this? In this message we will study key events in Samuel’s life and see why God could trust Him with such a responsibility. In Eph 4:1 Paul states: As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Our lifestyle should match our calling. When more believers understand this, there will be more people that God can trust with specific assignments for this generation. Heb 11:32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets. There is a reason why Samuel is included in the great hall of faith mentioned in the book of Hebrews and in this message will explore why he was one of a kind.
